Employment transitions and the labour market

We have conducted numerous studies exploring people’s transitions in and out of the labour market, including parents returning to the labour market, early school leavers preparing for employment, older workers, people with health problems and graduates entering work. Our research also covers the effectiveness of labour market activation programs, and the role and delivery of welfare and employment services (including jobactive, and its predecessors Job Services Australia and Job Network).

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri People who are the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which our company is located, and the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia, where we conduct our business. We pay our respects to Elders, past, present and emerging. The Social Research Centre is committed to honouring First Nations peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to society.
